It doesn’t matter whether you’re planning how to keep the country running smoothly, or you’re trying to work out how long you’ll have to save up to buy a new video game, the basic idea is the same: Making a budget is the best way to take control of your money.①_________Have you ever wondered why your pocket money runs out so quickly? Or regrettedspending your birthday money on sweets or online games when you could have saved up to buy something you really wanted instead?Making a budget can be of great help to you. It makes it much easier to save up for more expensive things like new trainers or a bike. It’s a good idea to learn more about budgeting now, as it’ll help when you get older and have to pay for things like supermarket shopping and medical treatment.①_________Pick up a pen and paper and start by writing pocket money. Add the extra money that you make. Next, write down any money that you spend in your everyday life. Perhaps you buy hot chocolate every week after going swimming or you buy a new game each month. This is called your “outgoings”. When you subtract (减去) your outgoings from your income, you’ll see how much you have left over to save or spend.It’s wise to save some of this money, especially if you would like to buy something special. Your budget will help you see how much you can afford to save each week and how long it will take to reach your goal (目标) . You might then decide to spend less on sweets to save a little extra or think about ways to make a little more money, so that you can reach your goal faster. 31．Why do we make a budget?A．To see how much we spend.B．To manage our money better.C．To find out how much we make.D．To check how much we save. 32．Making a budget helps you to _________.A．pay no attention to expensive things B．make money from other peopleC．buy whatever you want at once D．afford something necessary or important 33．Fill in the three _________ in the passage with the main ideas below.a. What is a budget?b. How do I make a budget?c. How can a budget help me?A．①-c ①-b ①-a B．①-b ①-a ①-cC．①-a ①-c ①-b D．①-b ①-c ①-a34．What does the word “outgoings” refer to (指代) in the passage?A．Money you get from parents.B．Money you save for future use.C．Money you make from a job.D．Money you spend on daily needs.35．In which part of a magazine can you probably read the passage?A．Technology B．Education C．Environment D．NatureAt Beijing’s 798 art zone (区), Italian artist Jacopo Della Ragione’s work named Conquista attracted many visitors. Born and raised in Florence, the art capital of Italy, Jacopo has showed a strong interest in art since his childhood.Before coming to China, Jacopo knew almost nothing about China except Marco Polo’s adventure (冒险) to the land full of mystery in the 12th century. As he was strongly curious about China, Jacopo moved to Beijing in 2001. “I planned to spend two weeks to know about China, but later I found the time was far from enough, and I have stayed here for more than 20 years until now,” said Jacopo.Jacopo first worked as an art and creative director for design and advertising companies, and media companies in China, and in 2018, he gave up the job and decided to become a full-time artist who mainly created abstract (抽象) paintings.Ancient buildings, music, traditional art—everything in China can be the inspiration (灵感) of Jacopo’s art creation. The happiest moment for Jacopo is when some visitors who don’t understand modern art begin to show interest in it and realize art is part of their life after enjoying his artworks.Having lived in China for more than twenty years, he said he was amazed by the country’s rapid development. Jacopo points out that he also sees a big hidden possibility in modern Chinese art, especially through the young Chinese artists who have done a great job in passing on the great traditional Chinese culture.Besides art creation, Jacopo sometimes works as an exhibition (展览) leader, offering a platform (平台) to feel the charm of Italian culture. With his help, Chinese people get to learn more about Italian culture. At the same time, Jacopo spreads Chinese culture to Italy through his art. In 2024, he plans to make more dialogues between artists and cultural institutions (机构). Both Chinese and Italian people can enjoy each other’s works and start talking and understanding eachother through them.36．When did Jacopo become interested in art?A．After he grew up.B．When he was a child.C．When he moved to Beijing.D．When he was twenty.37．Why did Jacopo decide to live in China for longer after he moved to Beijing?A．Because he fell in love with Chinese art and lifestyle.B．Because his job required him to stay in China for long.C．Because he wanted to learn traditional Chinese culture.D．Because he wanted to understand China more deeply.38．What makes Jacopo happiest according to the text?A．Rich traditional Chinese culture.B．People’s high praise for his artworks.C．The influence his artworks have on others.D．His great achievements in the art field. 39．What does Jacopo think of modern Chinese art?A．Hopeful.B．Difficult.C．Useful.D．Uncertain. 40．What can be inferred (推断) from the last paragraph?A．The exhibition is held to sell Jacopo’s paintings.B．Jacopo devotes all his time to creating his artworks.C．Jacopo makes a contribution to cultural exchange.D．Jacopo thinks highly of China’s rapid development.①For years, scientists have known how to measure (衡量) the intelligence (智力) of a person. Recently they began to do research into group intelligence. Early research shows that group intelligence is not the total of the intelligence of the persons in it. So what is the secret of a group’s success?①Researchers at a research company and a university have both dealt with this question. They believe they finally have a handle on what makes some work teams successful. In the studyof the company, researchers collected information and studied it to find patterns (模式). Are members of effective (有效的) groups friends outside of work? Do members with similar personalities work together best? They discussed many opinions, but found no patterns to support them. In fact, who was in the team did not make a difference. Instead, the difference between more effective teams and less effective teams was in the interaction (互动) among the members. The university group collected information by using digital badges (数字徽章) that people agreed to wear. They provided much information, including how long people spoke, where they were looking during communication, and their body language.①Not only the research company but also the university group found that the key to an effective team was how members communicated with each other.①Among the findings, the most important is that, in effective teams, members spoke for almost the same amount (数量) of time—not at every meeting or communication, but the whole course of a project. The second one was that members showed an understanding of how it might feel to walk in somebody else’s shoes. A high level of these two characteristics makes a member feel comfortable when he expresses his opinions and makes suggestions without fear of being doubted by other members. They believe that others will listen to them and value what they say.①One might say that most of these findings are clear. However, understanding group intelligence can help people make the basic changes that are necessary to increase the chance of a group’s success.41．The words “have a handle on” in Paragraph 2 probably mean “________”.A．have a clear understanding of B．do a lot of research onC．make a deep discussion about D．have a hard time finding out42．How did the university group do their research?A．They collected information on how people behaved.B．They studied the findings of some earlier research.C．They asked people questions and explained the answers.D．They discussed their opinions and found common pattern.43．What can we learn about the researchers’ findings?A．It’s important to divide time equally among group members at one meeting.B．It is necessary for group members to understand each other’s feelings.C．It is common for group members to be doubted in an effective group.D．It is believed that group members are all friends during and outside of work. 44．Which of the following shows the structure of this passage?A．B．C．D．45．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A．The Value of Team Members B．The Secret of Group ResearchC．The Competition between groups D．The Key to Successful Work Teams四、任务型阅读任务型阅读阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词，每个空格只填1个单词。

Well, probably more than you think.If you’ve ever looked at someone and thought, “you really look like you’d be a Jessica” or something of the kind, you’re not alone —and there’s a scientific reason for why someone’s face matches their name. According to research, there could actually be some truth to the idea that a person “looks like ”their name. For their experiment（实验）, a team of researchers pulled data（数据）from eight different studies, In one experiment, researchers found that when people are shown a stranger’s face and given a selection （选择）of five names, they pick the right name about 35% of the time. The team ran several more experiments of a similar nature with different conditions and found that people still did a pretty good job of matching strangers to their real names.In another experiment, researchers also trained a computer to find similarities （相似点）in thousands of faces of people with the same name, and they found that people with the same name often have similarities around their eyes, or at the corners of their mouths.Zwebner concluded（做出……结论）that people could actually be using their facial（面部的）muscles （肌肉）to change their appearance in a way matches the characteristics of their name.Take, for example, someone with the name “Joy”, “The moment she’s born, her parents and s ociety treather in a way that befits that name,” she said. “They say, ‘you really are so joyful, smiling just like your name.’ She develops a certain look maybe because she is smiling more because of all the positive（积极的）feedback（反馈）she gets when she smiles.”Long story short, our names might actually be influencing us more than we think, shaping who we come to be based on what society expects from someone with our names.36. In the experiment when people are asked to look at a stranger’s face and select（选择）from five names,____________ of the time they choose the wrong names.A. 20%B. 35%C. 45%D. 65%37. We can read this passage in _______________ .A. a musical magazineB. a detective storyC. a science fictionD. a science magazine38. The underlined word “befit” in para. 7 may mean “_____________ ” in the passage.A. findB. matchC. expectD. change39. Which sentence is true according to the message?A.

Sometimes the answer isn’t to just force an idea out of your mind. Instead, you might want to try sitting back, relaxing and letting your mind wander（走神）. Yes, you heard that correctly. If you are in need of a new idea, try daydreaming.Researchers from the University of California, Santa Barbara, found an association （联系）between daydreaming and creative problem-solving. Their study includes having participants（参与者）first do an “unusual-use task”. They had to try to come up with as many different ways to use an object as they could.Then, the participants chose to do one of the following four things before doing the “unusual-use task” again: Complete a difficult task ; complete an easy task; take a 12 –minute break; or skip（跳过）12-minute break and move right on to the task exercise again.Surprisingly, the group that performed(执行) best was the one that completed the easy task. Many participants reported that they were daydreaming while performing the easy task. So the researchers believed that this daydreaming might have helped unlock their creativity.But how could daydreaming help the brain come up with creative ways? The answer is something known as “un conscious thought”. Even when you are not actively working to solve a problem, it is still in the back of your mind. Your brain is still thinking about the problem, but in a much more subtle（不易察觉的）way.When you daydream, your mind is allowed to think in ways it normally would not. Because it is free of control, it can create completely new and out-of-the-box ideas.Great ideas never come easily, but that does not mean you always have to work hard to get them. Feel free to do what you want and let your mind wander.41. What could you do to create great ideas according to the passage?A. Work hard.B. Let your mind wander.C. Have a nice sleep.D. Read more books.42. The “unusual-use task” included having participants______________________ .A. complete an easy taskB. complete a very difficult taskC. take a 12-minute breakD. come up with different ways to use an object43. Why did the participants who completed the easy task perform best?A. Because they were more creative than the others.B. Because they were more knowledgeable than the othersC. Because they were better at solving problems than the othersD. Because they had the time to daydream, which might have helped unlock their creativity.44. What does the underlined phrase “unconscious thought” in Paragraph 5 mean?A. Your brain is thinking about a problem outside of your awareness（意识）B. Your brain knows what you’re thinking and doing.C. Your brain has a purpose of its own that cannot be known.D. Your brain refuses to receive any information from the outside world.45. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Brainstorming is important to creative ideas.B. The more we exercise our brains, the more ideas we will have.C. Daydreaming is a way to improve creativity.D. Problem-solving skills are important in our lives.第二部分非选择题（共60分）四任务型阅读（10分）If you want to know which social app Chinese young people use a lot now, you had better not miss “short videos”. Some users use apps like Tik Tok (抖音) and Kuaishou because they think it is fun to share short videos about their lives, while others have different purposes as well.A 12-year-old user named Elsa has up to 2.7 million followers on Tik Tok. The girl has shared videos about her dancing studies since last July. One of the videos won her about one million fans. “I feel really happy to go on sharing happiness with other people by short videos,” said Elsa.As some videos are about the latest news, a group of users depend on them to get information. To some other users, they have a different purpose. “Because I can’t spend many hours watching a complete video and I am a very impatient person. I don’t like waiting for a program to end. I prefer to watch short videos of wonderful parts in a concert or a TV series,” said Wang Zhihao.H owever, some young Chinese feel bored with some short videos. “Killing time is the main reason for me to watch the short videos, but many are almost the same, so I think it is a waste of time. Moreover, I really don’t like the videos which show strange eve n dangerous things,” said Wen Nan, another college student.Recently, something else has happened. Some videos are telling people what products are worth buying. Some users buy the products after watching, but they should think twice. If they don’t think c arefully, they may regret soon. Some short videos even sell fake (假) products, but these sellers won’t let you return them to get your money back, or deal with your trouble.五阅读表达(10分) 阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
